Spots for 15 years....any cures?
Question:
since i was 11 i have had spots, at the time i was told that i was becoming a teenager, and it was hormonal, some kids got spots others didn't, i would grow out of it, by 12 it was so bad i was started on anitbiotics, first cream then liquid then pills, at one point i was taking about 12 antibiotics a day! then at 14 i tried the birth control pill to try and settle my horomones, none of them worked either, i have tried cleansing routines, the normal teenage skin products, you name it i have tried it, including changing diet, at 16 i tried dad on antibiotics again, always being told i would grow out of it, i am now 26! i get spots on my chin mainely, sometimes on my forehead and jaw line, normal whiteheads, but sometimes more large lump type spots that are very painful and dont come to a head, i really need help this is so getting me down, i just hate looking in the mirror.
Answers:
i suffered with terrible skin problems for years so here are a few ideas. i will never forget all those lumps that were so painful and never ending so i really do empathise with you. i hope this doesnt sound like a broken record to you, i used to scream at all the advice i received which i had heard a million times before.
using antibiotics or topical treatments is ineffective if the cause is food allergies. forget about going to an allergist because they will only give you a long list of the foodstuffs to which most people are statistically allergic, to a greater or less extent. the only way to find out if you are reacting to food is to eliminate from your diet for a few weeks (usually 3 weeks) a particular item of food that you consume regularly. if there is no change, then reintroduce it and eliminate another. you must do this one at a time to narrow it down. keep a food diary to help you to monitor this. you might have an idea already of the foods which you react to, but you could be suprised that some foods you take for granted and eat all the time are the culprits. this is soooo tedious and time consuming, but well worth it. dairy is a particular irritant as well as spices, mushrooms and meat (which can be packed with artificial hormones). i havnt eaten eggs/chicken/mushrooms for 10 years (and recently gave up pork) and i dont suffer any more.
another thing related to jawline/chin outbreaks is teeth/gum related. this is something which i discovered coincidentally in my early 20s when i developed gum/teeth problems, something that can lie hidden for many years while poisoning the bloodstream. good luck.
first i wanna say antibiotics is bad for u, go to the website drnatura.com do the cleansing programs follow directions well and ur spots will be gone, all skin problems r in the blood and get the book natural cures they dont want u to know about from the web site naturalcures.com
